• Congo-Brazzaville: In Congo, Few Pygmy Women Have Access to Reproductive Health Services

    UN Integrated Regional Information Networks, 1 March 2013

    Indigenous women in the Republic of Congo, better known as pygmies - a minority group threatened with extinction - are virtually excluded from reproductive health services. They mostly give birth at home and are exposed to related health risks, according to a 2012 study conducted by the Ministry of Health with support from the UN Population Fund (UNFPA).
